Depend if you're apart pc or console team at first, as a pc user why would i buy a console that only let me play the games of the manufacturer with a obsolete hardware while i could do the same + any games running on pc with the other one ?

Why make teams?

I play Switch games on Switch, and PC games on Steam Deck. Switch, for me, is casual gaming with my kids or friends. PC, for me, is more intense gaming alone or with friends online.

Can you play something like Smash Brothers, Mario Kart, or Mario Party with someone on an airplane or in a car with a PC? If you're playing games with friends visiting, can you easily hand off a controller every round and expect the next player to have fun?

Couch co-op kinda sucks on PC generally. Xbox was cool with the Kinect, but they killed that so I'm back to Nintendo. Nintendo just offers a fantastic casual gaming experience.

I have Switch because it's a lot of fun with my wife and kids. I have Steam Deck because I like playing games in bed. I have a gaming PC for more intense games. I don't have Xbox or PS because they aren't better in any way imo.
